Fundraising

Along with our well-developed network of associates, we have been responsible for raising millions of pounds for charities across sectors and sizes. We can help you make a difference and increase your voluntary income.

We offer free two hour consultations should you wish to discuss your situation with us and how we might be able to help. Following the free consultation, if we are able to help, we would draw up a proposal summarising our discussions, knowledge of your organisation and needs, key deliverables, the timeline and our fee structure.

Our team has raised over £80 million for capital projects and from major donors and companies. We help our clients to set up and deliver fundraising from high net worth individuals and corporates, working closely with the organisation in the following ways:

Writing grant applications for the public sector, EU and Lottery funding

Mentoring staff and editing applications

Individuals

Our years of experience in fundraising and raising income from individuals have helped us develop technical expertise in the following areas:

Direct Mail

Legacy Fundraising

Membership and audience development

Alumni development

Online giving and Social networking

We can help by:

Conducting fundraising audits

Devising bespoke strategies and plans

Running focus groups for testing messages

Benchmarking exercises to help understand the market and competitors

Capacity building to sustain these streams.

Grant making

For grant making trusts with minimal secretariats we can help in a number of ways. We can research areas of need (locally, regionally and nationally) to identify gaps in provision or emerging demographic trends in order to inform grant giving policy.

Our consultants have worked for grant givers to set and review policy and assess applications. We can assist with designing information for applicants, review and/or design application and selection procedures and criteria. We can also offer an application assessment and shortlisting service.
